«La méthode Mila» is the novel by Lydie Salvayre, published by Seuil in paperback (221 pages, in French).
A narrator who watches his mother age and lose her faculties turns to René Descartes for comfort, but the philosopher's treatises are no use to him. Distrustful, he ends up consulting the extravagant Mila, very little Cartesian, who will teach him love, a taste for fables and another way of finding his bearings in the fog of life.
The work was published in 2005 in the Fiction & Cie collection; the cover bears the subtitle 'roman'.
For readers of contemporary French fiction looking for short novels with a philosophical undertone.
Lydie Salvayre is a French writer. Born in the south of France to Republican refugees from the Spanish Civil War, she went on to study medicine in Toulouse and continues to work as a practicing psychiatrist.
